A glimpse of the future for the elderly under liberal rule...
Next up...Soylent Green.
My parents are liberal to the core. If the office of aging shows up at their door...
They will have to go through me to carry um away. I might go down, but it’ll take an army.
It’s what kids are suppose to do. If they can’t stay in the house alone, I’ll move in.
However, I suspect that office will try to show up for my disabled wife first. Lord let the kids be at school when that happens.
“Government is the only thing we all belong to.”
That seems to have happened to half of the country on November 6th. I suspect the Highbergs have more common sense than many voters, and could have continued to live at home with some additional assistance.
Removing people from their homes is not something the government should be doing.
My dear Grandmother, at age 97, disappeared from her apartment in a elderly housing project. Nobody had a clue where she was, and the police put out an APB on her. They thought the worst had happened to her. Two weeks after her disappearance, we all received post cards from Grandma, in Frankfurt, Germany, her childhood home. She wanted to visit with family still living in Germany, and decided what the hell, you only live once, and off she went. My grandmother lived to be 103 and took care of herself for many, many years until her death. Her philosophy was simple, you’re only as old as you feel and you owe nothing to noone. Enjoy your life as it’s the only one you’ll have. Love you Grandma!!
Where the UK goes soon the US follows.
exactly how is this different from prison?
oh yea... the family must pay for them... and once the family has been drained, they will be shipped to the cheapest govt facility possible
it’d be cheaper to have a live in nanny from Thailand. just cover their food & lodgings, with a few more bucks in her pocket, and it’d be all set.
someone should try to get that idea to the family... of course, that assumes the fedgov would let the elderly folks go
It’s important for Americans to understand that doctors are mostly liberal elitist agents of the government via Obamacare. They will be used for social engineers and informants in the name of socialism’s well being.
Learn to be mindful in how you use them and in what you tell them. They will have the mission and power to sic gov. agents on people.
Was thinking of that when reading the headline, “Soylent Green!”
She is 83 and has COPD, Osteoporosis, kidney issues and uses a walker. Her house isn't worth all that much, so I guess that's why no one is knocking. She would gladly give up the house for care for the rest of her life.
I did home health care for a sweet lady of 94. 5 hours a day, making lunch/dinner and if I got bored pulled weeds and took care of her lovely ourside gold fish pond, summer and winter...as she got stronger, she did her own outside work and I had to tell her to take a break when she started to get SOB (short of breath) when her CHF acted up I took her to her doctor...she lived in her own home until passing on at 96. Went to the beauty shop once a week and sometimes went with me to do grocery shopping......old does not mean not able to do what we call ADL (activities of daily living) I knew her before I started to take care of her, she was my son in laws grandmother...the neighbors visited to make sure I was OK....I charged her for my work, basically as a home nurse, but loved to do other things around her house....GG
Not a bad looking place, we looked at places like this, I could buy a 300k home for what they change a month.
